Tour de France Stage 15 - MONT VENTOUX-
Well after a lot of indecision and several attempts, I have finally settled on my line up for the battle up Mont Ventoux.
I have taken a 10 point penalty but realistically got 8 riders who can score...

1,2,3,9 plus points for Rolland and El Fares. With GC and mountain table points should be pretty good.
Purist: 1, 2, 15
Cycling News 1,2,3,5,8,9,13,19. Good start to my big week there.
Roaduk 1, 2, 8, 9. Gives me a better idea for the last few transfers I've got there.
Froome
Quintana
Nieve
Purito
Kreuziger
Contador
Fuglsang
Mollema
Ten Dam
Peraud
De Clerq
Rogers
Valverde
Martin
Porte
Moreno
Gesink
Kwia
Bardet
Monfort
Chavanal got combativity.
Now for a ride with my wife. A fantasy cycling widow.
1,2,5,6 not sure if that's good enough as a few ahead of me have Nieve
1,2,3 plus a couple of other odd scraps of points. Not bad, but I should've let head rule heart and put in the the two Belkin boys rather than my patriotic punts on Rolland and Bardet.
Rest day next, will need a bit of time to think through the next stage's picks.
Oooooooooohh.....1,2,3,8 and a few points from El Fares! And I have 5 riders in place for Stage 16. Coolio
Lobato is lanterne rouge. Bonnet 3rd last!
Hivert was last home, 17 mins after Lobato
Anyone know Froome's climb time and where it ranks among previous Ventoux ascents?
Pretty good day for me with 1,3,8,10 but feeling a bit stupid for not shoehorning Quintana into my squad.
Couldn't make my mind up between Ten Dam / Krueziger and Martin / Navarro. Plumped for Martin / Navarro - how wrong can you get
Never mind the main man won
Can't help but live up to the expectations...
On this day in the forum in 2011, Dave was busy answering my favorite type of question in a very straightforward way
Sammy Sanchez won on Luz Ardiden, Voeckler was in yellow, Hoogerland lost his polka dot jersey to Sammy Sanchez, Gesink cracked, and Contador lost some time
Why do you get the impression he soft-pedalled? Being the No. 2 man on the team, back then, I don't think they would have asked him to do that
Went for Rolland. More for Tues. than today, but put in Ten Dam as a cheap version of Mollema. If I'd gone Mollema could have won the stage with El Fares 3 points as I think 12389 is the best team possible given the points.
Heh heh!
it was fast, but not super-fast, judging by what people are saying on twitter. 49 mins or so
You're right. But will he have made the time cut? That'd be 10 for my 3 Frenchmen, which is probably more than for Pinot.
Crap!
I think they didn't want a Froome/Wiggins kind of debate. But a minute behind Serpa after what he's shown today. I don't think that's lack of talent or energy. It backfired though but he could still get second and the white jersey and I think we'll see a different IT performance on Wed. (PS I had in my team that day, that's why I'm sore about it. Of course I can't prove I'm right.)
55 is the record, they said on Eurosport on an IT stage in the CdD.
sub-46 is the record, Iban Mayo. Pantani did it in 46 which is the fastest non-TT time i think
Pity Sammy isn't here today. Hope Contador doesn't do well. He's the main rider I haven't got in any of my myriad teams.
Hmmm.. history repeats itself!
Yes!! Even enrique!! Mind you he'd probably tell us what happened two years ago!
Now the commentator tells us El Fares is in the break. God! Anyone of us could do a better job!!
even enrique?
Cut the chat! I want men in funny clothes! They're trying to turn this into a footie program.
Live action!! Not a bloody football commentator!! With bad puns!
Someone in the break will get a few points but not El Fares after all. At least he got 1 cat 4. It's better than 0.
3 fantsy pts.....more than Fischer's got all bleedin' tour!!
Peloton 3 mins back but might not catch them before the summit but Europcar definitely want to do something today. Wish Eurosport would show some live stuff a bit quicker.
